All Power Hour Sessions will be held on June 9th at 8 a.m.
In "From Survival to Success – Change Your Narrative", Dave will weave in how artificial intelligence reshapes business, from predictive analytics, anticipation, to team management. But he’ll challenge attendees with a powerful truth:
“AI can optimize systems, but it can’t inspire teams. That’s your job.”
With AI now driving everything from HR to Finance to IT, Dave shows how the next generation of business professionals must:
Pair high-velocity decision-making with human-centered storytelling.
Use pattern recognition not just to forecast trends, but to lead with foresight.
Foster team alignment through plural pronouns and shared purpose, even when digital tools automate the process.
Build systems that are not just smart, but compassionate and inclusive—because tech without trust is just noise.
Through personal insight, enterprise-tested strategies, and real-world application, Dave equips business and tech leaders to embrace uncertainty, align talent with transformation, and change their narrative in a time when data is abundant—but authentic leadership is rare.
Because your past doesn’t define you, your next move does.
And in the AI era, the move that matters most is the one that centers the human experience.
Are you ready to lead through the moment that matters most?

In this keynote, Mercer helps us explore the seismic shift AI is triggering in the workforce: the disappearance of low-skill roles, the hollowing out of the middle, and the rise of a new “AI class” of highly skilled, empowered knowledge workers. Who gets access? Who gets left behind? And how do we rewire education, skills development, and economic opportunity to avoid deepening inequality? This is the future of work—redefined, redistributed, and up for grabs.
